Hello JOES Families! If you haven’t already, please fill out the Multipurpose Family Income Form (MFIF). It only takes less than 5 minutes. (see link in bio or visit https://www.sfusd.edu/services/health-wellness/nutrition-school-meals/apply)

Just a little bit of your time will help the school unlock more funding opportunities.
We are aiming for 100% participation so that we can have accurate information about the JOES community.

BONUS: If we reach 100% participation rate, we can earn our students a no homework day! :)

================
More info:

The Multipurpose Family Income Form (MFIF) is a simple form that families complete once a year to report household income. It helps schools access funding to provide students with valuable benefits.
This information informs the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), which determines school funding for academic programs and services. In other words, the more students who are income eligible that complete the form, the more money goes to our school!

Come to make a direct impact on the school’s yard for the upcoming future and the years to come!
